Crochet dresses can be fun and flirty, or prim and proper – and fun at any age! More and more patterns for these beautiful creations are coming out, and it’s so exciting looking though them all! It’s going to be tough to narrow it down, so I’ve decided to focus on dresses that can be worn as dresses (though they may require a slip), in a wide variety of styles. No swimsuit cover-ups, for those go here. And for this roundup, grownups only – for crochet dresses for girls, stay tuned! So without further ado, here are my top 10 free crochet dress patterns for women!
